The Argentina cards and payments market size was $69.3 billion in 2021. The market is projected to achieve a CAGR of more than 30% during the forecast period. Cash remains the most popular payment instrument in Argentina. This is mainly due to the high unbanked population, inadequate banking infrastructure, limited public awareness of electronic payments, and low acceptance of payment cards at merchant outlets. However, the government has been encouraging the use of payment cards by promoting the use of payroll cards, lowering interchange fees and merchant service charges, and mandating merchants to install POS terminals. Rising investment in POS infrastructure, the introduction of instant payments, and the advent of digital-only banks will further push electronic payments.
